Suspicious Person

Today, we had an emergency drill. The last one I took part in was a fire drill. Today, it was what to do if a stranger came into the school.

The students knew there was a drill, but they did not know when or what kind. At the start of 3rd period, the school's vice-principal comes up next to me with a towel wrapped around his head and a staff in his hand. We sneak up together to the 3rd/4th graders classroom to watch what was about to unfold.

A dude I know from the village office rushes in screaming and holding a fake knife. The kids freak, but they group up and head towards the gym while one of the students ran to the teacher's office to notify everybody.

An announcement is made over the intercom about the stranger, and the school evacuates to the gym. In the meantime, all the male teachers bust out broom poles (except the principal, who pulled a bamboo pole out of nowhere), and they all head to where the bad guy was. The teachers corner him into the corner by surrounding him with desks and making fake jabs at him with their staffs. Then the police arrive, knock him to the ground, and handcuff him.

It was awesome.

Dude, if you are going up against someone who knows how to use it, you don't have a chance...unless you have a gun.
